Career
Kalaba signed a five-year contract with Braga in April 2008.[1]
In October 2013, due to a disagreement between their club TP Mazembe and the Zambian Football Association over international call-ups, Kalaba and two other players (Nathan Sinkala and Stoppila Sunzu) were the subject of a Zambian arrest warrant.[2] All three players later had their passports confiscated by Zambian immigration authorities,[3] before being pardoned by the Zambian government.[4]
